Charlotte and Valegro’s last appearance at Hartpury was in 2012, when they claimed the British grand prix freestyle record with 90.65%, just a month before being crowned double Olympic gold medallists.

“We are thrilled that Charlotte and Valegro are planning to compete at the Hartpury Festival of Dressage,” said Hartpury’s Phillip Cheetham.

“The Festival always attracts a star-studded line-up of competitors from all over the world but, to have such a renowned ambassador for the sport at the college is very special.

“To have the chance to watch the very best in the world at our unique venue is an opportunity not to be missed.”
